    Those are very handsome tools. If you have any extra of them that you'd like to give away, I'd be willing to take one off your hands.

    Very nice, what a great gift. Handmade gifts are always the best, and a matching set for the family to boot. Well done lad.

    Nice Job Karl, as a previous member note, the handmade items can be so well made (and in many cases less expensive) than retail items. Of course this is but one variable which does not account for the incredible satisfaction which comes from making it yourself.

    Thanks for the great feedback all. There are flaws which the camera didn't pick up but all the boys were very happy with them regardless. I used to do a bit of wrought iron work and there is definately satisfaction in something turned out by your own hands. And for those of you who think you can't do something like this, try it anyway. You may not get it right the first or even the second time, but you will learn something from each attempt. And you may very well surprise yourself in the end.
